God Slayer: Make Up for the Past

Chapter 53 The truth behind the treasure

The stone at the center of the ruins glowed with a sudden surge of light, pulsating with a strange energy that illuminated the entire space. After the intense light faded, complex patterns emerged on the stone's surface, resembling ancient writing or a star map, flickering.

"What...what is this?" Explorer Luo was so shocked by the sudden change that he stood there in a daze.

Researcher Tong pushed up his glasses, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "This seems like some kind of information transmission! This stone, it... it's talking!"

"Talk?" Shen the scavenger hid in the corner, his voice trembling, "How can stones talk? This place is too weird, I want to get out!"

"Shut up!" Pan Yue shouted, "No one can leave now unless we figure out what's going on!"

A member of the mysterious organization, Mo, looked at the glowing stone, a glint of greed in his eyes. He cursed softly, seeming to be very dissatisfied with this sudden change. While everyone's attention was drawn to the stone, he quietly set an energy trap under his feet.

Chu Feng noticed the subtle movements of the members of Mo's mysterious organization, and his heart was alarmed. He was about to warn everyone to be careful, but he saw that Explorer Luo had already walked towards the stone and stepped into the trap.

"Explorer Luo, be careful!" Chu Feng shouted.

Almost at the same time, the trap was activated, the ground cracked, and several energy beams shot out from the cracks, heading straight for Explorer Luo. Explorer Luo was caught off guard and was hit by the energy beam. He screamed and flew backwards.

"Explorer Luo!" Chu Feng flew over and caught the fallen Explorer Luo. Explorer Luo's face was pale, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. It was obvious that he had suffered a serious injury.

Seeing this, Mo, a member of the mysterious organization, showed a smug smile on his face, "Hmph, you overestimate your abilities!" He walked towards the stone again, trying to snatch the treasure.

Chu Feng supported Explorer Luo and stared at the members of Mo's mysterious organization with cold eyes, anger surging in his heart.

Researcher Tong was still trying to decipher the information on the stone. He muttered to himself, "This... this seems to be some kind of ancient language... I think I've seen it somewhere..."

Pan Yue observed the surrounding situation vigilantly and whispered to Chu Feng, "Chu Feng, the information on this stone is very important. We must protect it and not let it fall into the wrong hands!"

The guardian of the ruins seemed to have sensed the movement of the treasure as well. It let out a low roar and used its huge body to block the stone, preventing the members of Mo's mysterious organization from approaching.

The member of Mo Mishen's organization was blocked by the guardian of the ruins and became angry and said, "You beast, get out of my way!" He released energy attacks again, but they were all blocked by the guardian of the ruins.

Chu Feng looked at the chaotic situation before him, feeling extremely anxious. He knew he had to find a way to break this impasse as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. He glanced at the unconscious Explorer Luo, then at Researcher Tong, who was diligently deciphering the stone tablet. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind... He took a deep breath and whispered to Pan Yue, "Pan Yue, I..."

Chu Feng took a deep breath and whispered to Pan Yue, "Pan Yue, I need a moment." As he finished speaking, a strange energy wave emanated from Chu Feng, and the air around him seemed to freeze. Pan Yue felt his eyes flash before his eyes, and the scene around him began to reverse! The noisy sounds, the flickering lights, even the blood at the corner of Explorer Luo's mouth disappeared. Time had actually gone back!

He knew that Chu Feng had used his ability to temporarily rewind time. This time, Chu Feng didn't hesitate. Just as Explorer Luo was about to step into the trap, he suddenly grabbed Explorer Luo's arm and shouted, "Don't go! There's a trap!"

Explorer Luo was startled by this sudden action and looked at Chu Feng in confusion. Almost at the same time, the ground cracked and several energy beams shot out, just before Chu Feng's warning. The conspiracy of the mysterious organization member Mo was completely thwarted. His face turned pale and he glared at Chu Feng fiercely, but he didn't dare to act rashly. "You...how did you know?" Chu Feng sneered, "It's just a trivial trick."

The guardian of the ruins seemed to have noticed something unusual, and its massive head turned towards Chu Feng, its eyes flickering with doubt. The light on the stone continued to flicker, and Researcher Tong focused even more intently on interpreting the information on it, muttering to himself. Finally, Researcher Tong raised his head, his eyes filled with shock. "I... I understand! This stone isn't just a treasure, it's a..."

Before Researcher Tong could finish his words, the Ruins Guardian suddenly let out a low growl, interrupting him. "I know what you want," the Ruins Guardian said in an ancient, deep voice. "You all think this is the source of power and want to claim it for yourselves, but you are wrong!"

It slowly walked to the stone, its massive body casting a shadow. "This stone carries a mission, a mission of protection," the ruins guardian's voice was filled with sadness. "It awaits the chosen one to complete its unfinished mission." "Mission? What mission?" Pan Yue couldn't help but ask.

The Ruins Guardian didn't answer, but turned his gaze to Chu Feng, a strange light flashing in his eyes. "You are the chosen one."

Unable to contain his greed any longer, Mo's mysterious member roared, "Stop talking nonsense! This treasure is mine!" His figure flashed, transforming into a shadow as he lunged towards Chu Feng. "Hand it over!" His eyes flashed with madness.

Chu Feng's eyes glared, and he tightened his grip on the weapon...

Chu Feng dodged the attack from the member of Mo Mystic Organization, who was extremely fast and carried a chilling murderous aura. "You overestimate your abilities!" The member of Mo Mystic Organization sneered, and a sharp dagger appeared in his hand, flashing with a cold light.

Chu Feng didn't dare to be careless, knowing full well that the enemy was a desperate criminal, each move deadly. He quickly retreated, signaling Pan Yue and Luo Explorer to join forces against this formidable foe. Pan Yue calmly analyzed the situation and swung a talisman. The talisman transformed into a streak of golden light, wrapping around the leg of the member of the Mo Mystic Organization, slightly hindering his movement. Luo Explorer seized the opportunity, wielding his long whip and lashing out at the member of the Mo Mystic Organization with a vicious blow.

"What a trifle!" Mo Shenmie's member roared, and a powerful energy erupted from his body, shattering the talisman and the whip. He moved like a ghost, rushing towards Chu Feng again.

Chu Feng's eyes narrowed as he noticed some strange runes carved into the walls of the ruins. A bold idea emerged in his mind. He deliberately lured the members of the Mo Mystic Organization closer to the wall, then suddenly slapped a specific rune on the wall.

The rune lit up instantly, and a powerful energy wave swept out, forming an energy barrier that trapped the members of Mo's mysterious organization inside.

"What is this?!" Mo, a member of the mysterious organization, shouted in horror. He attacked the energy barrier frantically, but was unable to shake it at all.

"This is the protective power of the ruins," Chu Feng said coldly, "You are too greedy."

Hiding in the corner, Shen the Scavenger was originally trembling with fear, but when he saw Chu Feng and the others bravely fighting against the members of Mo's mysterious organization, he felt an inexplicable surge of emotion in his heart. He clenched his fists, mustered up the courage and shouted, "Come on! You can do it!"

Although the cry was weak, it echoed in the empty ruins, bringing great encouragement to Chu Feng and the others. They knew that even when facing a powerful enemy, they were not alone.

Chu Feng took advantage of the moment when the members of Mo's mysterious organization were trapped and returned to the stone. He knew the stone carried an important mission, and he had to get it out. He carefully removed the stone, and a warm energy flowed into his body, filling him with strength.

However, at this moment, the energy barrier suddenly shattered, and the mysterious member of Mo's organization reappeared before them, his eyes filled with crazy murderous intent. "Even if I can't get it, you can't either!" He roared and rushed towards Chu Feng.

Chu Feng knew that the real battle had just begun. He held the stone tightly in his arms and looked at the members of the Mo Mystic Organization with a firm gaze, ready to face the final challenge.

At this moment, the ruins suddenly began to shake, and rocks above head kept falling.

"The exit... is about to collapse..." Pan Yue pointed ahead with a serious expression.

Chu Feng's heart sank. He knew they had to leave as soon as possible. He looked ahead. The road leading to the exit was now completely blocked by fallen rocks and rubble. He could vaguely see some gleaming metallic devices, like some kind of trap.

"It seems someone doesn't want us to leave alive..." Chu Feng whispered, his eyes coldly gazing at the dark passage ahead. He clenched the stone in his hand, thinking to himself: No matter what, I must complete its mission.

He took a deep breath and said to Pan Yue and Explorer Luo, "Let's go!"

He was the first to step into the passage filled with unknown dangers... From deep within the passage, the sinister laughter of a member of the mysterious organization could be heard, "Want to leave? Not that easy..."
